    Michael Kan reports that National Public Data is back under new owners: pcmag.com/news/site-behind-maj

    Here is the direct link to their opt-out page instructions:
    nationalpublicdata.com/optout.

    I had opted out previously after their humongous #databreach last year. When I checked my name now, it did not find my profile, so if you opted out before, you may still be opted out, but better safe than sorry: check and opt-out if needed.

  13. Every so often, I'll discover that one of my blog posts has gone somewhat viral, and then I have people calling me and emailing me to ask me -- or demand -- that I remove their data from my database or that I add them to the class action lawsuit a post may have reported on.

    So following my post on opting out of National Public Data, I now I have some people sending me their personal information and telling me to remove all their data from my database because they want to opt out.

    No, folks -- you need to send that to National Public Data. Not to the news blog that reported on it....

  18. So even though I am not in a state that National Public Data recognizes as having a right to OPT-OUT, I sent an OPT-OUT demand to them this morning because the information they had on me that got leaked was a mix of accurate and inaccurate info.

    To my surprise, they responded within hours. In their email they wrote, in part:

    "We have removed the entire database from our system. We may be required to retain certain records to comply with legal obligations; we will retain your request and our response for our records. Please note that while we are unable to edit or remove third-party data about you, including in public records, we will not sell your personal information through our services."

    I hadn't seen anything on their website statement/notice about them removing the database from their system.

    Interesting....
